We are proud to announce we have been named as a finalist in the Australian Law Awards for Law Firm of the Years 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2025.
Award recipients represent a true cross section of the legal industry, recognising the contributions of the profession’s most senior ranks through to its rising stars.
Divorce matters and separations are stressful situations to deal with, especially when children, properties, long-term plans and finances are involved. Blended family dynamics, parenting agreements, business ties or shared assets can add complexity to deciding whether a firm has the right level of experience for your needs. You may also worry about who to trust or that the advice will be unclear, the service impersonal or the legal language too complex. At Australian Family Lawyers, we guide people through separation, divorce and family law issues, simplifying each step as we go. Because we focus solely on family law, we understand both the practical and emotional difficulties, including complex and higher-asset cases. We clarify your situation and outline your options so you can proceed with assurance. Following our merger with Watts McCray and Kordos Lawyers, we're now the nation's largest specialised family law firm, with a leading national team, including a large number of Accredited Family Law Specialists. Each year, thousands of families turn to us for support, and so can you if you've been searching for "Melbourne Divorce Lawyers". In 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2025, we were even shortlisted as a finalist for Law Firm of the Year at the Australian Law Awards.
Rather than taking matters to court, we aim to settle disputes through negotiation and family mediation, as we follow a settlement-first approach. As a consequence, fewer than 5% of our cases proceed to a final hearing. We can connect you with experienced Mediators who can provide legal guidance for family mediation and help you understand your rights and responsibilities from the outset. On top of resolving disputes, we offer clear legal guidance on the main legal issues in separation and divorce. This includes support from property settlement lawyers, who can help identify and divide assets and debts. Our team can also advise high-net-worth clients on matters involving complex trusts and family business structures. We provide advice on topics like spousal maintenance and support in drafting Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs) to clarify financial arrangements. For families, we have child custody lawyers on our team who can offer guidance on child custody and support, focusing on the child's best interests while helping you understand your obligations. Plus, our advice covers diverse family structures, including LGBTQ+ families, and is respectful, practical and personalised to your situation. Whether you've been interested in "Good Family Lawyers Melbourne" or "Mornington Family Lawyers", you can turn to us.
To begin with Australian Family Lawyers, schedule a complimentary, no-obligation phone consultation to go over your situation and learn what the family law process involves. We'll then schedule a thorough strategy session to assess your circumstances and outline the next steps. If there are disputes around property or parenting arrangements, our team will work closely with you through assisted negotiation and mediation, aiming to reach a fair outcome without unnecessary escalation. Should an agreement not be possible, we'll support you through mediation or court proceedings. With experience across multiple Australian jurisdictions and with family law offices in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory, our firm combines national expertise with local understanding. As part of our commitment to transparency, we provide an upfront Costs Agreement, regular itemised invoices and updates as conditions change, so you can rest easy if you've been looking up "Australia Divorce" or "Family Lawyers Battery Hill". You'll also have direct access to your lawyer throughout the process, with consistent communication and additional resources available through our Information Centre. If you've been curious about "separation lawyer" or "australian prenup", book a consultation with us today.

We are thrilled to announce that Australian Family Lawyers is the Platinum Sponsor of the highly anticipated short film, Millie!

This powerful film, told from one child’s perspective, explores the genesis of childhood trauma and dissociation.
